However, ASA internal traffic redirection which is done by Modular Policy Framework (MPF) is responsible for directing the production traffic to FirePOWER modules (know also as SFR module) which is optional by design but of course essential for next-generation firewall functions to take effect. Traffic flows normally from appliance to appliance between regular ASA interfaces based on a routing table (or PBR). In red, you can see the production traffic flow.

Categories are correlated with information about those websites, which is obtained from the Cisco cloud by the ASA FirePOWER module. URL Filtering License – used in access control rules that determine the traffic that can traverse the network based on URLs and web categories requested by monitored hosts.

Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) license – performs malware code detections and blocking when transmitted over the network.Protection License – includes intrusion detection and prevention behavior, file control, and Security Intelligence filtering.To enable control you need to enable protection as well. Control License – allows user and application control by adding application and user conditions to access control rules.In ASA FirePOWER there are the following licenses available: This next-generation firewall is composed of widely known ASA-OS and software module (SFR) that takes care of main “next-generation” functions like Application Control, Intrusion Protection, Anti-Malware, and URL Filtering.Īlign with next-generation functions there is appropriate licensing proposed by Cisco, in fact, similar to other vendors, where licensing goes according to firewall functionality (you can read more about other vendors licensing here). The flagship firewall of Cisco – the Cisco ASA (Adaptive Security Appliance) and FirePOWER technology (the result acquisition of Source Fire company by Cisco in 2013) lied down the foundation of the “next-generation firewall” line of products in Cisco’s portfolio: ASA FirePOWER Services.
